Driving home yesterday was probably the easiest I've done on that particular run. Well rested, drove almost 8 hours straight before stopping 130 miles out - forced 30 minute break, I could have kept driving all the way in without stopping for anything but fuel. Oh that all runs would go that easily. Heck, even driving through Houston rush hour traffic wasn't that bad. Yes there was a lot of traffic but almost no slow downs. Okay, I prefer no to drive through Houston at 5:00 PM on a weekday, but it's the shortest route and I tend to go for the bull's horns when it comes to getting to the intended destination the fastest, shortest way there. Many drivers prefer to go well around Houston adding 30 to 50 miles to the run depending on what route they take.
Now, that gets them more mileage, yes, but it also gets them the possibility of not making it down or back up in the same day. And right now? The Brownsville run is cranking. They want a lot of product and they don't take no for an answer. I'm already being sent out again tomorrow. That's just a day in between runs.
And I'll take it. I know, doom and gloom, but there are more and more reports of impending recession. I hope it doesn't happen, I want food and cash available if it does. It's just about being prepared, not living in fear. The stock market tanking around 1,000 points today because of more coronavirus fears infecting investors with fears of the economy slowing down again.
Today is a mountain of laundry day. I haven't done laundry in almost two weeks, completely out of clothes. I was going to do it the day before I left on last trip but it was James/Taylor day to do their laundry. I'm doing all of it - not just clothes but bedding, dog covers, carpets. James just invited me to join him for lunch when he gets off work - he has yet another short day. I mean, we're talking he's off at noon or 1 pm, not the normal 5 or later he usually gets. I'm all for the lunch tho. I have no plans to make dinner so lunch will have to do.
Like a nice thick steak with a salad and some green beans, asparagus or broccoli.
Diet going well again - Keto that is. Last cheat was a disaster. My belly bloated out, I gained almost 4 pounds. I was right at the point where I was starting to dump the fat. Fat cells stick around for a while after they are depleted, according to the experts. So if you cheat too soon, they just fill up again and you're right back where you started. So, no, I'm not cheating again for awhile, including wherever we end up today. I'm down to 212 and I want to get down in the 190 range. 180 range seems to be a pipe dream. 195 or so would be fine, that's 33 waist and abs starting to show again. I'm also doing light weightlifting a couple 2 or 3 times a week. Nothing intense, just starting to try and build some muscle back up again.
Well, I was banned 24 hours from posting or commenting anywhere on Facebook. I won't go into the specific reason, just to say that Facebook is full of dog dung and their censoring is getting ridiculous. I have an old alt account I haven't used in a long time. So, I'm on that temporarily. But going through messenger requests, I found a message from my ex wife - the first one I was married to 16 years. It was from January of last year, lol. That tells you how long it's been since I used that account. I did respond to her but it's well past anything relevant, it was concerning our son and that situation is over and done with long ago.
Not going to wax-long on this one. Gotta keep on top of the laundry or I won't get it all done. Plus lunch date. Plus other things I need/want to get done today before I go back out again tomorrow. Might be a pipe dream, but I hope I get stuck down there again.
